John Mellencamp - Crazy Island Lyrics
Written by John MellencampHey Hey AmericaYou're some kind of crazy islandYou're a place where dreams can growAnd there's history in your mansionsGood fortune in your plantingsYou're well respected we all knowHey Hey AmericaLet's check your childrenAnd see what they might knowHey Hey AmericaWith your salesmanship and your salariesAnd your strip malls a growin'And your handguns and your heresiesDon't hold no responsibilityIn this land of easy millionsHey Hey AmericaIt's so thrillin' to see you growYou're some kind of crazy islandYou're some kind of crazy islandWell I prefer a sunny dayI just thought maybe I'd live a little bit longer that wayI don't think we should look the sameOr talk the sameYeah I think it's a shameAnd Hey Hey AmericaAcross the new horizonAre you sure that's the way we should go'Cause I don't knowMaybe it's too late for all thatAnd Hey Hey AmericaYou're wrapped up in your red, white and blueHey Hey AmericaWrapped up in yourself and your red, white and blueHey Hey AmericaYou're some kind of crazy islandYou're some kind of crazy islandHey Hey AmericaYou're some kind of crazy islandYou're a place where dreams can growAnd there's history in your mansionsHey Hey AmericaYou're some kind of crazy islandSome kind of crazy island
